Kinara – "Most Cutting Edge Spa in Los Angeles"

This West Hollywood spot is the day spa of the future, a neat package that touches all the important bases. The design is modern and airy; skin care services are state-of-the-art; the café serves only organic food and has an outdoor garden; and the boutique is stocked with exotic slippers, cozy blankets, one-of-a-kind home accessories (Blanc D’Ivoire organdy tablecloths and silk and linen pillows), and hard-to-find beauty products (Ayur-medic and Fenix). I loved cofounder Olga Lorencin-Northrup’s personalized facial and the café’s three-course Anti-Aging Menu. The restaurant is run by Christine Splichal, whose other half heads up Patina, one of L.A.’s best dining rooms. Etymological tidbit: Kinara, a Hindi word, means "on the edge."
